The Gateway Pundit reported on journalist Nick Shirley’s shocking report exposing millions of dollars of fraud involving Somali daycare centers in Minnesota. Rather than address the fleecing of taxpayers in his state, Governor Tim Walz attacked Shirley instead, calling him a “White supremacist” for daring to expose the fraud. Shirley shared clips of his investigation, including footage of the door being slammed in his face while he asked a Minnesota Childcare Center that claims to care for 102 children, which appeared empty. Shirley released the full 42-minute video of his investigation noting, “We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bragged about making it easier for people to get into the child care business during last year’s vice presidential debate with JD Vance, awkward resurfaced footage shows — as the state’s Somali immigrant community has been accused of bilking millions of dollars in aid meant for day care centers. “We have to make it easier for folks to be able to get into [the child care] business and then to make sure that folks are able to pay for that. We were able to do it in Minnesota,” Walz said on stage as he proposed a...

President Donald Trump on Sunday said Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed and suggested access to cheap energy could be part of a future settlement. He made the remarks during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, saying that his recent conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin left him believing Moscow is interested in a stable and prosperous Ukraine, even as Russia's war against the country continues. "I believe Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed," Trump told reporters, adding that economic incentives — including access to low-cost energy — could help underpin...

President Donald Trump appeared to give nonchalant confirmation of the first US land strike in Venezuela during a radio interview last week that received little attention. The president said that the Christmas Eve strike was on a facility 'where the ship comes from' – seemingly referencing the origination location of the alleged drug vessels that the US military has been targeting in the Caribbean and Atlantic over the last three months. Speaking to radio host and billionaire John Catsimatidis on WABC, Trump made the bombshell suggestion that US forces have already started conducting land operations in Venezuela. 'I don't know...

The U.S. Department of Education has reported an end to more than $1 billion in attempted student aid fraud in 2025. These reforms were needed after the massive waste and fraud resulting from loosened rules during the Biden regime. “Federal investigators found nearly $90 million in aid had already been fraudulently disbursed, including over $30 million to deceased individuals and more than $40 million to bots posing as students,” according to a report from Campus Reform. That’s a lot of fraud, but it’s hardly surprising. Under Democrats, fraud and waste are rampant, as we learned in the era of DOGE....

The scandal involving billions of dollars of Somali fraud in Minnesota is growing exponentially. But if you were watching CNN or MS NOW, you would have no idea the story was exploding and possibly expanding into other states. Mediaite reports that those two alleged cable news sites haven’t mentioned the seismic Somali fraud scandal in more than a week. Here’s more. (READ) Western Lensman @WesternLensman REPORT: MSNOW and CNN have ignored the exploding Minnesota fraud scandal, not mentioning it a SINGLE TIME since December 18: "A review of MS NOW and CNN’s broadcasts since December 18 — when prosecutors claimed...

Good to know I’ve been slaving away for 2+ decades … taking on 100% of the bankruptcy risk, litigation risk, tax risk, audit risk, With all the daily headaches of matters of: •employment, •sales, •accounting, •legal, •insurance, •software, •vendors, •platforms, to form and run a law-abiding business, to earn a mediocre income, that I’ve created from 0 to 1, entirely by myself, bootstrapped out of my own savings, which has provided hundreds of jobs and livelihoods to employees and contractors that have touched our circle…. when all along I could’ve simply •created a shell corporation •with misspelled signage, •locked doors,...

The big question on everyone’s mind right now must be, “When will Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) face indictment for the fraud that didn’t merely take place on his watch, but was allegedly allowed to continue unchecked?" It’s a fair question to ask, given the circumstances. The political ground beneath Walz is looking increasingly shaky. Between mounting scrutiny and unresolved allegations, things are not breaking in his favor. As PJ Media previously reported, independent journalist Nick Shirley and his crew hit the streets, sniffing out over $110 million in fraud in a single day. They targeted outfits posing as child care...

This writer is old enough to remember that the debate over whether or not food stamps should cover junk food isn't a new thing. It goes back years. She's also old enough to remember when Democrats pushed for soda taxes as a way to discourage the consumption of unhealthy foods. ...Starting next year, however, 18 states will ban junk food for SNAP users....“It’s just a classic government operation where they’ve thrown this out there, and well-meaning though they may be, it’s caused mass confusion, and it’s making some retailers question whether they’re going to stay with the program or not,”...

FBI Director Kash Patel recognized the ongoing fraud scandal unfolding in Minnesota involving childcare centers, adding that it has been part of a lengthy investigation and will remain a top priority. As Breitbart News reported, a video from YouTube journalist Nick Shirley went viral over the weekend after he confronted an employee at an alleged learning center in Minnesota that was receiving millions in aid despite showing no signs of operational activity. In a post on X, Kash Patel said the FBI has been investigating the situation. “The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota. However, even...

CHRISTMAS BIBLE-ART EPISODE #16 of 33 SHEPHERDS, FIRST TO HEAR OF THE SAVIOR L U K E CHAPTER 2 She gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you...

Out of the 32,788 burglaries reported in London last year, only seven resulted in a suspect actually being charged. Data cited by the Daily Mail shows the Metropolitan Police accounted for roughly two-thirds of all recorded theft cases in the UK in 2024. Greater Manchester recorded nearly 10,000 burglaries, while South Yorkshire followed with 6,694 cases. The figures come as burglary remains a common experience for many households across the country. One in five UK adults have expressed experiencing either a burglary or attempted burglary. Because of this, the UK’s Labour Party remains under pressure to crack down on theft,...

Today, Attorney General Mike Hilgers filed a notice of Voluntary Dismissal of his lawsuit against Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), recognizing OPPD’s vote last week to maintain critical generation online at the North Omaha Station. “We brought this lawsuit because public power providers should not achieve their self-imposed environmental goals by raising prices for Nebraska consumers,” said Attorney General Hilgers. “After last week’s vote, OPPD’s plans for the North Omaha Station now align with their twin mandates of affordability and reliability in delivering electricity to Nebraskans. Having accomplished our purpose on behalf of Nebraska consumers, our lawsuit may now be...

The electric vehicle industry has taken a pummeling this year. The Trump administration, as expected, reversed a whole suite of federal policies that promoted or encouraged EVs. California's ability to require the sale of EVs: gone. Federal rules about emissions and fuel economy — being rewritten. Federal penalties for car companies that sell too many gas guzzlers: zeroed out. The $7,500 federal tax credit? Kaput. Meanwhile, automakers delayed or canceled a host of unprofitable EV plans. The all-electric Ram 1500 REV was canceled before a single one was built. The all-electric Ford Lightning was discontinued despite some glowing reviews. (Both...

Minnesota fraud is a seemingly never-ending and endlessly entertaining story. The alternate media reports on the skyrocketing dollar total, now up to $9 billion, while the legacy media tries to explain why the fraud isn’t anywhere near $9 billion as if fraud totaling a mere few billion isn’t really a big deal. Simultaneously, Minnesota’s Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, who is running for the Senate, appears in a Hijab while claiming Somali fraudsters are responsible for everything good about Minnesota. And if that wasn’t bad enough, a downtown McDonald’s in Minneapolis has locked its doors during business hours and will only...

Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” 14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod.

"We were so busy saving democracy that we forgot to tally. . . " — Joe Rogan on the 2020 election. Newly-minted multi-millionaires Ruby Freeman and daughter Andrea “Shaye” Moss.While you were busy decking the halls with boughs of holly, chomping spiced nuts and cheese straws, and quaffing the eggnog this Christmas, 2025, the USA was still suffering indigestion from the Nov 3, 2020 election, repeatedly throwing up in its mouth as reports dribbled in about voting irregularities around the country that long-ago dreary night when “Joe Biden” was so thumpingly voted-in as the 46th president. So far, the state...

Congress returns next week to Capitol Hill in the now-familiar position of having left for recess without meeting a deadline that is hitting millions of Americans in their wallets and pocketbooks. The scheduled return date for the Senate is Jan. 5 and for the House Jan. 6 – six days after the expiration of Biden administration "enhanced" subsidies for health-insurance policies through the Affordable Care Act marketplace that is estimated to impact 22 million enrollees. While the issue has immediate implications, it also looms large over next year's midterm elections in which control of Congress is at stake. Republicans in...

In PM Keir Starmer’s UK (above), free speech is met with prison sentences. Criticize Muslim mass migration or transgenderism and you will be arrested. After a Muslim terrorist murdered 3 British girls, a 55-year-old woman was dragged out of her home, arrested and held for 36 hours for “posting inaccurate information” that he was Muslim. One of the most infamous cases is Lucy Connolly, the mother of two children, who had lost her little boy after his hospitalization, and expressed her anger after the brutal Muslim terrorist murders of three little girls at a dance studio. Lucy was sentenced to...

A strong majority of Americans say they're worried about the climate. So why do they hear so little about it in the news? …The problem has become even more acute at a time when the US president is openly hostile to the scientific consensus on climate change. Donald Trump and his allies have pushed misleading narratives about the trade-offs of green energy, drawing reporters into covering false controversies instead of facts and making the job of reporting harder. "The Trump administration is playing reporters like a fiddle on the issue of trade-offs" by bringing up red herrings and sending reporters...
